you listen to Bob Dylan

Boondock · 02-25-2006, 08:14 AM

i've always liked him like a casual fan or whatever but lately i have been getting into him bigtime.
some of his tunes are just amazing.

in the music world he is pretty much reguarded as the greatest singer/songwriter that anyone alive has ever heard.

i think it has a lot to do woth the type of songs he used to sing and where/when he used to sing them.

his prime was mid 60's-early 70's but he's been steady for a while.

he has done 100 shows a year since something like 1981. he's touring this year too. i'm gonna try to go check him out.

Great music.

Boon you consistently bring me down memory lane. Things that were old become new again and drive me to re-listen.

Thanks man...

bob is the man.

i wish i could have been around in the early 60's. dylan was like a gypsy for a while there when he first started getting recognized. he would hitch hike to colleges and sing folk music and then split to go somewhere else.

back when him and joan baez were together. it would have been so cool to see him.

i'm gonna try to go see him this year but the only thing i'm not too happy about it he hasn't played his guitar on stage in like 5 or 6 years. it's the piano/keyboard and harmonica. i'm still gonna go but i would like to see him work the guitar a bit.

annon, did you like the mothers of invention?

dylan is good shit... but lately his live shows have been shit. Even the local DJ that always plays Dylan said when she saw him at SummerFest she was dissappointed...
His voice def. aint' what it used to be, it's getting really bad.

hey boon, did you still want those zappa cd's? They finished already

absolutely yes i want them. i'm getting ready to leave so i won't be around for a couple hours but i'd like to grab them when i get back.

since it's so much maybe this evening you and i can jump on aim and start a transfer and let it run over night. it's gonna take a bit. you can upload to yousendit but it will probably be a bitch since it's such a huge file.

tell you what, tonight lets transfer those you just downloaded to me. when it's done i'll sort through them and figure out which ones of mine you already have and the ones you don't i'll transfer to you.

cool.

also, i wouldn't say dylans concerts have been shitty. i don't think thats possible. you have to take into account that he's an old dude now and has been jamming for 40 years. i think he's entitled to not sound 100%.

now you would go to the concert just to get the vibe of hearing him live

The 60's were a little early for me too man, I was under 10 and was a Beatles freak in the 60's.

I heard Dylan and the Mothers of Invention in the later 70's. Never really got to into them then, though one of the dudes that we hung with thought Zappa was a God.

I was heavy into Zeppelin and the Who, Steve Miller.... And "modern music" was just getting started (Boston, the Cars, etc.). Then Punk started getting tangled with Disco and shit, so the heavy stoners (me included) kind of shunned a lot of new shit to listen to the "Classic Rock".

As I've grown older, My musical tastes have opened up. I can now listen to almost anything that is well done, depending on the moment and the mood. Rap is still a big no no bullshit in my book. You are causing me to give a new listen to Zappa....

times they are a changing
man in me

great tunes

Boondock · 02-25-2006, 08:42 AM

i hear you annon. i have absorbing everything zappa for a couple weeks now.

his lyrics are not for everyone cause he was a satirist but you have to listen to the music behind it. the mothers were like a 9 piece band and zappa would write all the lyrics and all the music for all 9 members. sometimes that had up to a 60 piece orchestra behind them and he wrote all their music too.

60 albums released in his career and they were all original compositions and he produced every record he ever released after 1963.

imagine what he could have done if he wrote serious songs and got air play.

my mother was a who super freak when i was a kid. i like townshend and all that and a couple songs but the who are just not for me.

I'm a Huuuuuge dylan fan... i really always have dug his music. I recommend the album Blonde on Blonde... all of em are great

sorry I coudln't get ahold of you dude, I worked 11-7 today...

and man, if you would have been at summerfest last year, I think you'd know what I mean. It was really really bad. It didn't even sound like Dylan... I know he has a rough voice and all that, but I couldn't get into the music at all. It was like when rod steward was singing on South Park... I was pissed off, but still love dylan... the guy is def. in my top 10 artist of all time.

falnsenseofpryde · 02-25-2006, 08:49 PM

bob dylan is classic. good music

yea van morisson is real good. put out some real tight music

smokeythebear · 02-26-2006, 08:45 AM

yeah hes pretty kick ass, i saw him live with willie nelson a lil while ago, it kindof sucks though cuz bob has such bad arthritis that he cant play his guitar anymore so all he played was piano

Spakle · 02-26-2006, 11:32 AM

i dig bob more then the van... but all is good. different strokes....for different folks
